Rest. Heal. Renew.

At Sozo House, we offer counseling and holistic care with a special focus for community leaders and helpers—restoring strength, healing trauma, and renewing purpose through guided therapy retreats in a safe, beautiful, and confidential setting designed for rest, reflection, and deep healing.

Who we are:

Sozo House exists to care for the hearts and well-being of community leaders and helpers who pour themselves out for others. Many face quiet struggles—burnout, trauma, loneliness, relational issues—and often carry these burdens without a safe place to rest or heal. We created Sozo House to be that place: a beautiful, confidential retreat where they are seen, known, and deeply cared for.

Every aspect of the Sozo House experience is intentionally designed to promote healing and restoration. Our guided therapy retreat includes counseling from licensed therapists, bodywork, opportunities for play, curated spaces for reflection, and mind-body wellness practices—these practices work together to meet the physical, emotional, spiritual, and relational needs of our guests. We believe that healing happens most powerfully when individuals are cared for in every dimension of their humanity.

As a nonprofit, we aim to offer this care as a gift—because those who give so much to others deserve a place where they, too, can be held, healed, and restored.

How do I get involved?

Great question! We need supporters through monthly donations. This allows us to answer the immediate call for a need and to be able to offer our services. We also need sponsors for our fundraising events. In alignment with our mission to care for the helpers, we want to give back to our helpers, too.
